My thumb is raw and my wrist is sore...an awesome evening on the river. In under three hours, we caught and released 17 bass, the majority being spots in the 3lb range. We fished two cove mouths along a 100yd stretch of the south bank, just downstream from Gunstocker where the power lines cross the river. Over the last week, someone had put out several brushpiles of fresh-cut cedar and each one quickly became the home of a fat female. After catching five good ones off the brushpiles, the flat behind us exploded in a feeding frenzy that was similar to those in the fall. I'm assuming they were attacking sunfish because we saw no visible baitfish on the surface or on the graph, plus the depth was only 4 feet. All bass were caught on either a 1/4oz Booyah spinnerbait in white/chartreuse or a Lucky Craft LVR in green w/black back in 3-4 feet of water with a temp of 58.
